How Harvey Weinstein outwitted Hulu to get info on upcoming doc

The producers of an explosive new Hulu documentary about Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual abuse refused to send a copy of the film to the disgraced mogul before its release. But sources close to Weinstein say that he outwitted the filmmakers — by sneaking an emissary into a screening of the film at the Sundance Film Festival.

The camp of the embattled Weinstein clashed with the team behind “Untouchable” after they asked to see an advance copy of the film — which features interviews with accusers including Rosanna Arquette, Hope d’Amore, Paz de la Huerta and Erika Rosenbaum — before its release. But the producers declined.

A source close to Weinstein suggested that the film could create bias in the jury of his upcoming trial if his team can’t provide a proper rebuttal.

“We’re supposed to be deemed innocent until proven otherwise in this country — as far as I am still aware,” said the source. Seeing the movie could “be crucial for preparing a response that could have an impact. We are asking for consideration for a person’s life.”

But when we asked another source close to Weinstein if they’re worried about getting a nasty surprise when the film comes out, they sniffed, “He got someone in there at Sundance . . . There’s nothing in it.”

The filmmakers first reached out to Weinstein’s legal team in August 2018 to ask him to take part in the film — which delves into how Weinstein’s alleged sexual harassment went unchecked for decades. With his trial looming, Weinstein turned them down.

We revealed that the doc, by director Ursula Macfarlane, will screen on July 21 as part of 51 Fest, a partnership between Women in the World — run by former Weinstein employee Tina Brown — and the IFC Center.

Weinstein goes on trial in September for five charges, including rape. He’s pleaded not guilty.
